Goldsmith previously was vice president for IT and CIO and adjunct professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. From 1991 from 1999, he was employed at UT Austin as deputy director of academic computing and instructional technology services and from 1991 to 1994 as director of strategy and planning for management information systems for UT System Administration. Before joining UT Austin, Goldsmith was the vice president of technology for Advanced Software Technologies, Inc. Beginning in 1976, he spent 13 years at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio as director of computing resources and executive director of IT and also served as adjunct associate professor at UT Austin. Goldsmith serves on the Internet2 InCommon Federation Steering Committee and served on the Alabama Information Technology Association and the University of Alabama System Information Technology Council.

Goldsmith received his bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate in electrical engineering from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
Bill Weems is the assistant vice president of academic technology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, as well as the associate dean of information technology and an associate professor in the integrative biology and pharmacology department at the UT Houston Medical School. His research interests include the neurophysiology of sympathetic, prevertebral ganglia; the production and control of intestinal motility and propulsion; and informatics as a research tool in the study, characterization, and management of complex systems. The recognition that useful computational solutions suitable for biomedical applications require a globally integrated set of information systems has led to his involvement in the development of middleware for integrated applications, the use of electronic publishing, the integration of academic and health-care information systems at the application layer, and the establishment of the UT System PKI and the UT System Identity Management Federation. Weems served as cochair of the EDUCASE PKI for Networked Higher Education Working Group from 2003 to 2005 and is currently cochair of the EDUCAUSE Identity Management Working Group. He is also a member of the UT System Identity Management Federation Board. SummaryYour host, Steve Worona, will be joined by Clair Goldsmith and Bill Weems, and the topic will be "Governance in Identity Management Federations." This presentation will trace the development of the University of Texas federation, as well as the general process of creating a federation and the trade-offs that must be made. It will also cover the elements necessary for a functional federation. Related EDUCAUSE Resources
